ALB Lino is a premium yarn made with virgin wool from the Swabian Alb, spun in collaboration with the Stotz migratory sheep farm in Münsingen. This regional wool, combined with fine French linen, creates a truly local and natural yarn that reflects both tradition and sustainability.
The blend brings together the warmth and softness of wool with the strength and subtle crispness of linen. Thanks to its structure, length and thickness, ALB Lino is not only versatile for garments and accessories, but also perfectly suited for natural socks – without any synthetic reinforcement. One ball makes one pair of socks, with the linen providing the necessary durability.
The yarn feels light and breathable, yet strong enough to last. Its colour palette ranges from calm natural shades to bright hues, with some tones offering a gentle heathered effect that adds depth and character.
ALB Lino is a yarn for knitters and crocheters who want to work with pure, regionally sourced fibres that combine comfort, resilience and elegance. From jumpers and summer tops to shawls, scarves, hats and socks, it delivers timeless projects that are as sustainable as they are beautiful.
To maintain its quality, wash by hand, dry flat and avoid fabric softeners so the fibres keep their natural properties.
